August 2026 Honoree
Sheralyn Garrido, RN
Sheralyn, you received multiple nominations for this recognition, and as we read through them,
several qualities came through again and again: dignity, advocacy, teamwork, comprehensive care, leadership, and compassion.
One nomination described your ability to meet patients where they are emotionally, physically, and psychologically, making sure each individual feels heard, respected, and valued. You were recognized for going above and beyond to promote comfort, safety, and dignity, whether that means advocating for a patient, anticipating a need, or simply providing reassurance during a vulnerable moment.
Your nominators spoke about your ability to connect with every patient, even when there are
barriers. If a patient speaks a different language, you find a way to communicate so they feel secure, comforted, and cared for. When a patient has a specific need, you work to make sure it is met. They also described the way your leadership influences the people around you. You provide a positive example to your staff. You advocate for the best care and treatment for your patients, and that commitment carries over to your team and encourages them to do the same.
Your coworkers described you as someone who encourages others to grow, challenges the team not to settle for the status quo, and is always willing to educate and train those around you. You are viewed as a trusted resource and a go-to person for guidance, information, and support.
Another nomination described your compassion, patience, consistency, and calm, dependable
presence. You make patients feel cared for, heard, and safe. Sheralyn, your nominations make it clear that the care you provide isn't defined by a single moment. It shows in how you consistently show up for your patients, your coworkers, and this hospital.
